Better on AW though ran creditably when fifth behind Nouvel Espoir at Cork last week

Had My Girl Sioux back in third when winning at Naas, failed to uphold form at Navan

Two wins under his belt this year, signs are that he is now too high in the ratings

Gained his third win over this trip at Cork last Friday, up 6lb, should remain competitive

1-49 record is off-putting but she has shown fair form in a busy campaign, place chance

Placed in three of his six starts in maidens, opening mark seems reasonable

Sixth of 18 over 6f at Fairyhouse was encouraging, more needed, previous 5f form is weak

5lb lower than for her most recent win at Bellewstown last July, of some interest
